I'm a pretty tolerant person most of the time. I can handle weird habits and strange quirks; I can handle obsession, to a degree. What I can't handle is obsession boredering on being psychotic.
Enter the obsessive Twilight fan: a breed of human typically recognised by the shrill shrieking noise they make when confronted with images of Robert Partterson or Taylor Lautner. Typically devided into two "teams" according to their preference in unnaturally good-looking monster, Twilight fans have been known to begin huge verbal wars over Twitter and other forms of social media and these disputes are only resolved when Justin Bieber and Jonas Brother fans take over.
Now, unfortunately, the example I am about to show you (which is located on this freaky website), is only from one side of the crazy scale, but I'm sure that you will understand where I am going with this. When you get too bored or too scared to read anymore, I do carry on afterwards, so don't just leave the page :)

So, now that I have you all sufficiently worried for the future of our human race, I have also come up with a solution.
It's so simple, it's almost brilliant.
TIME TRAVEL
Ok, of course we still have to invent a machine that is capable of such a thing, but imagine with me, if you will, the possibilities of such an option.
All you would need to do is go back in time, kill Stephenie Meyer's harddrive, burn the first manuscript and come back to a time where teenage girls aren't so creepy anymore.
I appeal to all the scientists out there:
For the benefit of all mankind, would you please, please, PLEASE, get to work on time-travel?
Your reward will be a future without psycho vampire (if you can even call them that) obessers.
I believe that the compelling evidence above should move you to immediate action.
So, so scary...
A/N: Also, I edited it because 473 is too much crazy for this page to handle.
